I used to shop at this store when I was in College!! That was 40 years ago, but I am so happy that they are still there. They didn't have a gallery back then and they do it take a commission for sales, they only charge a space rental fee which is very reasonable!
My favourite place to go for my artsy needs! The prices are great and always good quality stuff. Much better selection than other art stores I've been to. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable as well!!
Super cozy store. Nice staff and pretty solid selection of supplies given the size of the store. Only suggestion would be to have more budget options for those getting started to have something more accessible. But great overall!
